If your pup has started standing on or walking on the leg already..it's a good chance it'll heal without surgery.
LP surgery is a high dollar.. high profit ( for the Vet) procedure. I say take a conservative approach. Give it a couple of weeks..it can't hurt. |
If it is LP though she should have an orthopedic surgeon look at it and it wont heal on its own also waiting to long on LP will make the possibility of arthritis grow and they say puppies heal better then adult yorkies in most cases of LP surgery.
